Sunday Stash #48

Something Sweet This Way ComesThis week I ventured to my local quilt store, Rainbow Patchwork (see this post) but I did not escape without spending a bit of cash on some lovely fabrics. Remember this cushion on display there?

These were ALL in the $11 per metre section. I bought half a metre of each. It's 'Sugar Pop' by Liz Scott for Moda.

Australia Day Long WeekendThis weekend is traditionally one of getting friends together and outdoor activities, however the remnants of tropical cyclone Oswald have turned into very large rain depression all the way from Queensland and into half of New South Wales.

So from bushfires to cyclones tofloods all within the month - This is Australia! So that means our Monday BBQ and backyard cricket plans are now in doubt. It may leave plenty of time for sewing and board games instead.

Don't forget that thelink upover atQuiet Play, for January's block, will close on the 31st of January. Great prizes available plus the 'Measure Twice' pattern will only be FREE until then too! I have not done my block but I am kind of excluded from the prizes for Month 1 due to a slight conflict of interest (I am one of prize sponsors).Anything added to your stash lately. Feel free to link up below.

Ooh Fiona, thanks for the shout out! MWAH! I have got a special surprise for my turn of hosting on February 17, yay! The mod aspects of sugar pop are gorgeous. I think I have a FQ of a fabric not in your pictures... must investigate. Teal + Anything = LOVE.

Feel free to ship some of that rain over here to SA, we never get much at the best of times! Very happy to report we are having a very mild Australia Day weekend here - temperatures all in the mid 20's, so unusual for Adelaide in January! Loving it though, went for a walk along the beach this afternoon without getting sunburnt!
